Today, Hulu and Starz announced that Hulu has acquired the exclusive streaming rights to the entire series of the critically-acclaimed, cult comedy Party Down.

Beginning Friday, August 29th, all episodes of Party Down will be available to stream exclusively on Hulu Plus. The first five episodes of the series will be available for a limited time on the free, ad-supported Hulu.com.

With an ensemble cast featuring an ultimate who's-who of comedy, Party Down became a cult hit after its premiere on Starz in 2009. Emmy® Award nominees Lizzy Caplan (Masters of Sex) and Jane Lynch (Glee) star alongside Adam Scott (Parks and Recreation, Step Brothers), Ken Marino (Marry Me, Burning Love), Ryan Hansen (Veronica Mars), Martin Starr (Silicon Valley, Knocked Up) and Emmy® Award-winner Megan Mullally (Will & Grace, Fame). Created by Rob Thomas (Veronica Mars), Party Down follows the hilarious, realistic-like story of a group of Hollywood acting wannabes who make ends by working for a Los Angeles catering company.

"Hulu is a top destination for great, cult comedies, which is why Party Down is the perfect addition to the Hulu library. We know our viewers will enjoy watching some of their favorite actors showcasing their comedy chops in this hilarious show," said Lisa Holme, Director of Content Acquisition at Hulu.
